    <title>Description</title>

    <para><filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename> is a
    service that is invoked as part of the first boot after the vendor
    operating system resources in <filename>/usr/</filename> have been
    updated. This is useful to implement offline updates of
    <filename>/usr/</filename> which might require updates to
    <filename>/etc/</filename> or <filename>/var/</filename> on the
    following boot.</para>

    <para><filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename> updates the
    file modification time (mtime) of the stamp files
    <filename>/etc/.updated</filename> and
    <filename>/var/.updated</filename> to the modification time of the
    <filename>/usr/</filename> directory, unless the stamp files are
    already newer.</para>

    <para>Services that shall run after offline upgrades of
    <filename>/usr/</filename> should order themselves before
    <filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename>, and use the
    <varname>ConditionNeedsUpdate=</varname> (see
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
    condition to make sure to run when <filename>/etc/</filename> or
    <filename>/var/</filename> are older than <filename>/usr/</filename>
    according to the modification times of the files described above.
    This requires that updates to <filename>/usr/</filename> are always
    followed by an update of the modification time of
    <filename>/usr/</filename>, for example by invoking
    <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>touch</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    on it.</para>

    <para>Note that if the <varname>systemd.condition-needs-update=</varname> kernel command line option is
    used it overrides the <varname>ConditionNeedsUpdate=</varname> unit condition checks. In that case
    <filename>systemd-update-done.service</filename> will not reset the condition state until a follow-up
    reboot where the kernel switch is not specified anymore.</para>
